Chapter 1114 We Would Rather Not Play in the Playoffs than Play Against Shen Huan!
This year's playoffs are already set.
After playing all the regular season on April 12, after two days of rest, the playoffs will officially begin on April 15.
The opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round should be the seventh place Oklahoma City Thunder in the regular season.
In fact, there is a lot of drama for the Thunder to become the opponent of the Lakers.
Even this suspense was officially revealed last night.
The Thunder, Trail Blazers, and Grizzlies waged a bloody "war" over who won't be the seventh place in the Western Division. It really made the fans feel like they were watching a big show.
As the third place in last year's regular season, this year's Oklahoma City Thunder can be regarded as bad luck.
Not only did they lose their biggest superstar, Kevin Durant, but they were also firmly placed in seventh place. In the first round, they had to play against the Los Angeles Lakers who had regained Shen Huan.
It's not that the Thunder haven't struggled.
At the end of the season, with a dozen or so games left, they were desperately losing, just hoping to drop to eighth place. The hope of playing the Golden State Warriors was greater than the hope of playing the Los Angeles Lakers.
As it turned out, the Thunder were naive.
Who was the eighth Portland Trail Blazers behind them?
The opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round last year was their Trail Blazers!
In April last year, the Portland Trail Blazers can be said to have suffered the worst failure in team history.
Not only was the Lakers swept a 4:0, but more importantly, their players suffered the most painful loss.
Shen Huan's first miracle was created on the Trail Blazers player Ed Davis.
During the conflict, Shen Huan grabbed Ed Davis by the neck with one hand and lifted him 20 centimeters off the ground with one hand.
Such a miracle is simply astonishing.
You know, Ed Davis is 2.06 meters tall and weighs more than 200 catties!
What strength does it take,
Can he lift him off the ground with one hand? !
This video is also one of the most popular videos on Youtube last year, with more than 2 billion views.
It also had a consequence.
When the Portland Trail Blazers clashed with other teams this year, no matter whether there was something about Ed Davis or not, someone from the opposing team must have stepped forward, grabbed Ed Davis by the neck, and wanted to put He picked it up.
That hurt Ed Davis.
He tried his best to resist every time, but he was never able to stop the NBA players who wanted to imitate Shen Huan.
Ed Davis, whose mind was endlessly burned and traumatized, has ended his season early and received mental treatment.
According to the doctor, it is very likely that he will not be able to return to the game.
Ed Davis was not actually the main force of the Trail Blazers, but the loss of the main force of the Trail Blazers was even more painful in the hands of Shen Huan.
The main power forward, Al Aminu, was the first to collide with Shen Huan. He was sent flying, broke two ribs, and lay in the hospital for 3 months before returning.
The starting center Plumlee wanted to push Shen Huan in the air, but Shen Huan "unconsciously" kicked him in the jaw, causing the jaw bone to be broken directly. He returned after missing half a season. Custom "Iron Jaws".
If so, Plumlee and Al Aminu can be regarded as half useless.
If it weren't for the explosion of their leading stars Damian Lillard and C.J McCrum this year, they would not be ranked eighth at all.
Tell me, how could the Trail Blazers, who had been beaten to pieces by Shen Huan, still want to face Shen Huan in the first round?
Aren't they afraid that Shen Huan will also abolish the leading players?
So the Trail Blazers once lost worse than the Thunder. In the last three games, they were only one game away from the ninth-placed Memphis Grizzlies.
At this time, the game between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers is also one game, 2 games more than the Grizzlies.
If the Thunder dare to compare with the Trail Blazers in the end, then maybe the Trail Blazers will drop to ninth directly and top the Memphis Grizzlies.
If the Thunder aren't careful, they could even displace the Trail Blazers at ninth, leaving the Memphis Grizzlies at seventh and the Portland Trail Blazers at eighth.
In any case, it is impossible for the Thunder to accept that they have slipped from seventh to ninth, and cannot even participate in the playoffs.
No matter how powerful Shen Huan is, being great is just being swept away, can I not bear it?
Therefore, in the last third game, the Thunder beat their opponents and continued to maintain the suppression of the game.
Seeing that there are only 2 games left, the Portland Trail Blazers, who have a great sense of fear in their hearts, directly lost the penultimate game and the second game-that is, they lost again last night.
This makes the Thunder go seventh, one game more than the Memphis Grizzlies, and the Portland Trail Blazers, in turn, are two games less than the Memphis Grizzlies.
Now the Trail Blazers are completely out of play.
From the eighth place that might make the playoffs, to the team that didn't even qualify for the playoffs.
It means that they will be able to enjoy four or five months of vacation if they play another round of matches.
In this regard, the Portland Trail Blazers not only did not feel ashamed, but felt relieved.
It is definitely a kind of great luck not to have to worry about facing the big devil Chen Huan again!
If you ask them a few main players, apart from Damian Lillard and C.J McCrum, none of them would dare to play against Shen Huan.
Even the two leading players were feeling guilty, afraid that Shen Huan would get excited and knock his head off with a slap—everyone had seen Shen Huan's supernatural power to smash the basket.
Originally, the Trail Blazers had a grudge against Shen Huan, which caused Shen Huan to be suspended from the game. Can you guarantee that Shen Huan will not do anything wrong?
With Shen Huan's status today, even if he is a black hand, will the alliance dare to pursue it?
The league wants to pursue it, will the fans agree?
Isn't he the only one who suffers silently, just like Ed Davis, Al Aminu and Plumlee?
Anyway, Shen Huan only played in the playoffs for one season, and he won't play NBA games for a long time. Why should I fight Shen Huan to death?
The future is long, so why lose the chance to make a lot of money in the NBA just for the playoffs?
After figuring this out, the two bosses of the Trail Blazers also figured it out like other players, and they didn't care whether the team was ranked ninth in shame.
But in this way, the Thunder team was completely stupid.
There is still one round of games left, and they have one more game than the Memphis Grizzlies. Even if they lose, it depends on whether the Memphis Grizzlies are willing to rise to seventh place.
If the Memphis Grizzlies don't want to play the Lakers, then it's too easy for them to lose, just go to the bench.
In the NBA, there is no such thing as fair competition. Everything is for the championship. Strategically giving up some games is what every team will do.
If every game had to compete for victory, the Bulls had two Jordans back then, and there was no way to guarantee two three-peats.
Are the Memphis Grizzlies stupid?
Of course not stupid!
They lost the last game and still won the Trail Blazers by one game, and they were firmly in eighth place, and they still entered the playoffs.
Why are you so stupid, insisting on getting the seventh place, and then being tortured out by Shen Huan and nailed to the pillar of shame?
It's the same loss. Losing to the Golden State Warriors is always more decent, and there won't be all kinds of accidents. What's wrong?
Their general manager said, "Although playing against Shen Huan is a rare experience, I don't think my players are ready yet."
Damn!
The Thunder almost cried when they saw their shameless appearance.
Obviously we can go further, it is you bastards who have caused us to be completely finished now!
